Passing Bonnie Clare Dry Lake (37.17209/-117.15607), on the way over to Hwy 95, we stopped to drive out onto the 'Lake' to take some pictures...We also took some video out on the 'Lake' - rolling our rig from afar, directly over the camera to get some neat footage...

We also stopped to look at an old mine ore processing site ruins...then hauled our AS nine miles up a gravel road to a place called 'Hard Luck Mine', where a fellow has been building a huge, round shaped 'house', out in the middle of nowhere...more adventures...good luck with your continuing 'project', Randy...

We continued North, winding our way through NV/CA/NV...lots of back country to see when you're not in any big hurry...

We stopped to toss a couple of snowballs in a high mountain pass, west of Lida, NV...

We wound up the day on the road at the small town of Dyer, NV (37.66645/-11806363), where there was a nice, full hookup RV park, next to the only 'store/gas station' in town...

Staying overnight, we ate a great breakfast across the highway at the Boonies Saloon before again heading North...Patricia almost felt guilty winning about $40 from one of their 'one armed bandits' (slot machines) after only spending about $15 for our meals...

After leaving Dyer, we found a great, remote camp spot on BLM land, just south of Wellington, NV...

We traveled 6.5 miles up a gravel road into a deep canyon on Desert Creek (38.63057/-119.33483)...

We had the place to ourselves, and enjoyed a couple of days of solitude, only disturbed by a session of target practice as we broke out our firearms for some 'plinking' and to blow out the cobwebs, as it were...

We then headed up to the Carson City area, planning to stay for a couple of days before heading over the 'hill' and back home...

We settled in at the Carson Valley Inn's RV park (38.95725/-119.76940), right next to their Casino - how convenient!

After two days with all the RV hookups (civilization) we tried to head back home, but another storm had hit the Sierra's with snow flurries falling on us in Minden, NV!

Not being the 'cold weather' types, I didn't unhook our water hose at night, and we had lots of round ice 'cubes' the next morning! Simple solution - switch over to our internal water system - no problem! Our furnace got a good work out for a couple of days!

We actually had to extend our stay a fourth day to allow Hwy 88 to clear up, so we had plenty of time to explore Carson City and the surrounding area - more adventures!

Coming home, we got to see the HEAVY snow pack up in the Sierra's - lots and lots of that white stuff up there - our rivers in Northern Calif will be flowing wildly for the next several months!

We got to experience the Highs of the desert and the Lows of the mountains (temp wise) on this road trip - or was it the Low of the desert and the High of the mountains (altitude wise)...I'm confused...time for another Adventure!

Hi, Ray. Great trip and nice pictures. Wish we could get out again, but too many things in the way at this time. You're out having a great time while I'm sitting at home just tinkering with my trailer, painting my tongue, and going to paint my hitch parts. I wish we could go to Casini this year but that is out too. I did sign up for Jackson Rancheria this year.

Additional note about the GPS, Lat/Lon figures I've included in my posts above...

If you 'select' and 'copy' the numbers, IE; 35.35973/-117.99708 and then replace the '/' with a comma ',' you can 'paste' the result into your Google search to get a map/Sat image of that exact location...

In the future I'll just use a comma, ',' between the figures so you can copy/paste directly to get the info...
